Chapter 132 A Good Leader
"Complete Record of Cultivation Secret Realms"
"Herring Mountain: The concentration of spiritual energy in heaven and earth is 30% higher. It contains precious plants and herring beast pets. You can bring out any one of them. You can exchange it for three major merits..."
"Lingyin Temple: the place where masters pass away in meditation, it has a miraculous effect on the deduction of martial arts, and the three major skills can be activated..."
"The Ends of the Earth: The concentration of spiritual energy in the world is 50% higher, guaranteeing at least one flash of inspiration. Those above the eighth rank can enter, and those with ten merit points or more can exchange for..."
As Ye Kang watched, his expression became quite interesting.
These cultivation realms are incredibly powerful; the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely rich in every place.
Compared to these places, the Xie family's meditation room is practically a thatched hut!
Unfortunately, it's too expensive. Ye Kang has two great merits, but he can't even enter the lowest level of secret realm.
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Great achievements can't be saved up; they can only be truly yours if you convert them into strength as soon as possible.
After all, what is the greatest tragedy for a martial artist?
The person died before his great deeds were used up.
Ye Kang immediately changed the catalog and looked at Baozhi's category.
His goal was clear: to find beneficial plants for the physical body. Sure enough, after looking around, Ye Kang was able to exchange for at least four types of physical-related plants.
Three of them only require one major merit, while the last one requires two major merits to exchange for one.
Ye Kang thought for a moment and chose the last option. After all, he didn't know which one was the best, but expensive meant good, and good meant expensive—that principle was never wrong.
He put away the jade token and placed it on the table, saying, "I've made my choice. I want to exchange it for the Ten-Leaf Demon Flower."
The guardian of Sky Eagle Town was slightly surprised and said, "It takes two great merits to exchange for one flower. Are you sure you want to use them all?"
Ye Kang nodded firmly: "Use it. I am a Body Tempering Martial Artist, and from what I've seen along the way, the Ten-Leaf Demon Flower seems to be the most useful to me."
The guardian of Tianying Town revealed an expression of understanding and said, "That's true. The ten petals of the Ten-Petaled Demon Flower are a great tonic for tempering the body. In addition, there is a mouthful of sweet dew at the stamen of the flower, which is beneficial to the soul and may even trigger a flash of spiritual light. Don't forget that."
"Such a miraculous effect!"
Ye Kang was extremely surprised. A flash of inspiration led to enlightenment. Most martial artists would have several or even dozens of enlightenments in their lifetime, while a very few geniuses would have enlightenments frequently.
This opportunity is rare and hard to come by. Sometimes, a bottleneck or a deduction can be easily overcome with a flash of inspiration.
Without that flash of inspiration, even decades would have passed without any progress.
The garrison commander of Sky Eagle Town shook his head and smiled.
“I know what you’re thinking, but it’s only a theoretical possibility. At least I’ve never seen anyone actually achieve enlightenment by drinking this nectar.”
Ye Kang nodded. That's more like it.
If one could truly achieve enlightenment with just one sip, then it wouldn't be a matter of exchanging two major functions.
At least ten.
The Eagle Guardian then showed interest and asked, "You're a Body Tempering Warrior, so do you know how to use a bow?"
Ye Kang honestly shook his head: "I haven't dabbled in it."
"It's a pity. Body tempering martial artists can achieve twice the results with half the effort when practicing archery. If you are interested in learning, I can teach you an archery technique."
"!"
Ye Kang's eyelids twitched, and he was completely dumbfounded.
What a wonderful leader! He wants to teach martial arts on our very first meeting!
The Eagle Guardian laughed and said, "Don't misunderstand. What I'm going to pass on to you isn't my signature archery technique. That's my livelihood, and you'll have to become my disciple before I can teach it to you. But I do have more than just that one archery technique."
"What does the garrison commander mean?"
“I recently acquired a natural archery technique. Its power is average, but it’s enough to lay a foundation. If you can master it, you’ll be able to quickly learn more powerful archery techniques in the future. I originally intended to put this archery technique into the Azure Scale Treasure Vault for people to exchange. You’re lucky; I just hadn’t had time to report it yet.”
Ye Kang immediately understood that this was a favor being done for him.
In any case, that archery technique is completely useless to the garrison commander of Sky Eagle. It's better to do him a favor. Whether it's useful or not, the favor has been done, and everything will be easier to discuss in the future.
As expected of someone from the imperial court, he speaks and acts with great skill and propriety.
Ye Kang didn't refuse. Ever since he saw the magnificent arrow shot by Tianying Town, he had become interested in archery.
As for favors, we can repay them when we have the chance. Since we've already owed them, owing a few more won't make a difference.
"Thank you, Lord Garrison Commander, for bestowing upon me this method!"
Ye Kang extended his hand.
The guardian of Tianying Town shook his head helplessly and handed over a secret manual.
"You can borrow it for two days and then return it to me."
"No need."
Ye Kang waved his hand, took the manual, and began to peruse it.
【Ding】
[Recorded innate archery technique: Piercing Star Arrow]
[Entry requires 5000 Comprehension Points]
……
Ye Kang closed the manual and returned it.
The garrison commander of Sky Eagle didn't ask any more questions. He had seen too many geniuses with photographic memories, so it wasn't anything special.
"Alright, there's nothing else for now. We should head back. Although we didn't wipe out the Crimson Demon this time, we did eliminate the Heavenly Damage Sect, which is a great victory. We should go back to Jinling to celebrate."
Ye Kang bowed and left.
Not long after, the garrison commander ordered everyone to return to the city.
Along the way, Han Ying rode alongside Ye Kang, her expression full of confusion.
"Lord Ye, what exactly happened back then?"
Faced with the aunt's confusion, Ye Kang was quite helpless and could only say, "I really don't know. If Lord Han is curious, why don't you investigate it yourself?"
"I'm investigating right now, but it doesn't really matter, as long as we can live. Lord Ye, we were originally transferred here. My jurisdiction is in Poyang Lake. If you're interested, you're welcome to visit."
Poyang Lake...
Ye Kang narrowed his eyes.
He really needs to go to this area.
Chongxuzi obtained the Green Jade Lotus Root from the Poyang Marsh, and coincidentally, the target location of his treasure map for the Crimson Sun Fruit was also near the Poyang Marsh.
This only means that there are many precious plants there that can enhance one's physical abilities, so it's worth a visit.
Ye Kang cupped his hands and said, "I've remembered it. I will definitely go to find Lord Han when the time comes."
"That's good then. We'll meet again someday."
Han Ying was also carefree. She spurred her horse forward and soon broke away from the group, leading a few rookie Qinglin Guards in another direction.
Not only her, but also the two borrowed seventh-rank Qinglin Guards who left with their respective men along the way.
They all had their own jurisdictions, and could not leave for too long, so they would not return to Jinling.
As for the credit, there's no need to worry. The Sky Eagle Garrison has already prepared the case file, and after the higher-ups have reviewed it, it will be issued as quickly as possible.
A day later, the garrison commander of Tianying led the masked men and prisoners to a canyon outside Jinling City.
That was the residence of the Skyhawk Garrison and also a temporary stronghold for holding prisoners.
After all, there were too many people in Jinling City, and it was impossible to bring so many prisoners in.
Ye Kang, along with the masked man and the rookie Green Scale Guards, returned to the pawnshop to report. After a series of reports, the meeting finally ended. He bid farewell to everyone and returned to the Xie family alone.
